Texans linebacker Brian Cushing isn’t going to play the blame game.

Some fans pointed fingers at Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles for making a block that caused Cushing to break his fibula and tear his lateral collateral ligament.

Cushing said via Twitter that he won’t hold any grudges against the former Longhorn and that he ‘has nothing but respect’ for Charles’ style of play. Charles initially reached out via social media by sending Cushing well wishes in his recovery.

@jcharles25 appreciate you bro. I know you were just doing your job. Nothing but respect for your game.
